I feel the concept of self-service needs to be contemplated intimately to be clear as to what it exactly is. Below is a good description of someone who is absorptive:
"The negatively oriented being will be one who feels that it has found power that gives meaning to its existence precisely as the positive polarization does feel..[]..These other-selves are conceived to be dependent upon the self and in need of the guidance and the wisdom of the self." ..also "These fifth-density entities see the creation as that which shall be put in order."
Forgetting the concepts of evil and terrible acts, in the above a negative person is described as someone who feels others need their guidance and wisdom. The majority of so-called positive spiritual types and your non-spiritual adepts fall into this category. Enlightened people absolutely love to correct others and wake them up in an attempt create order. So simply put, someone who takes catalyst and attempts to control it or guide it is self-serving.
It seems that that which distinguishes positive from negative is the approach to how catalyst is dealt with, and ultimately perceived. So when you encounter disharmony between yourself and another, if you find yourself saying "Well you need to do this or that." and "No, you're wrong and this is why." you're being absorptive. This is the quickness and sharpness of mind that a "negative" person embodies described by Ra in the Transformation of Mind. Someone who is negative attempts to keep their perspectives of another as other than self. So the key illuminating factor in all of this is how catalyst is ultimately perceived. When something stirs our emotions and we react, we're saying "What I'm encountering is something other than myself." But if you work with the catalyst, you begin to see the other as embodying traits of yourself, and possibly notice imbalances behind these reactions.
To come to these understandings is to radiate the light of creation. It seems to be the definition of positive service to others. Symbolically you're allowing the others/the infinite to express itself and move freely. When these realizations are achieved, on a metaphysical level you're merging with them, and in the process becoming crystallized, as the exterior is no longer something foreign and separate, but regular.
Now of course learning, sharing, and growing requires offering perspective and guidance. Amongst a group of seekers like this we can be more lenient with our perspectives. Out in the real world you have to be more patient and reserved. The only way to get to that place of balance is through trial and error, by purging negative vibrations, for a lack of a better way to put it. Say whatever you're thinking or feeling. And even with personal catalyst between yourself and another it's important to express yourself, which is a form of attempting to control. Then you can reflect, balance, and forgive yourself and the other. The more you do this, the less you feel the need to take it upon yourself to guide, and rather give when guidance is asked of you. "The purpose of carefully and consciously opening this channel is to serve in a more dependable way, in a more commonplace or usual way, as seen by the distortion complex of the healer."
I always think in terms of radiance and absorption..it seems to help the most. I ask myself, am I radiating or absorbing light? It's true magic. So I can't judge because we're all self-serving to begin with.
